It is a very filling soup that is easy to put together. The pork is soft and tender and the hominy adds to the texture of the soup. Next time you make carnitas, make extra and plan for a posole soup.
Melt butter over medium heat and add onion, garlic, jalapeno, and spices. Saute until veggies are soft.
Add vegetables in a slow cooker with pork, green chilies, salsa and hominy. Add reserved juices from the carnitas and stock to cover. Cover slow cooker and set on Low for 7 hours or High for 3 1/2 hours. Add tabasco or sriracha sauce to your taste and serve with desired garnishes.
If you prefer to do this stovetop, saute veggies as directed and combine everything in a large heavy pot. Bring the soup to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 2 hours until flavors are well combined.
Note: my carnitas recipe is also posted here at Tasty Kitchen, or you can head to my blog (The Noshery) for more details.

I’m giving this 5 Mitts even though it was a little too much heat for me. That is easily modified. None of us knew too much about hominy … my DH and I may have had it once. DS had not. It was great! Very satisfying and a nice “break” using the leftovers from the Carnitas to prepare. I ended up using 2 jalapenos and the small can of green chilies. I couldn’t locate the roasted ones nor green salsa. I just used some chunky red medium that I had on hand.

Yes it does freeze well. I have frozen it too for us since there are only two of us. Glad you enjoyed it!

Delicious! All the textures and flavours came together perfectly. I made your carnitas yesterday, which was beyond spectacular as well! Be be making these two dishes regularly!
I’m wondering if this soup freezes well? I’d like to portion some of the batch I made today and freeze them for when a craving hits!

Had the posole tonight, and it was outstanding!! Right up on par with one of my favorites “chicken tomatillo posole”…Loved yours…used the left over carnitas and juice, and even mexican oregano. It was super good. I accidentally gave it a 4 mitt, instead of 5, when I hit the mittens, but meant to give it a 5. (don’t know how to redo it, I’m new here!) Thanks for a great recipe…
